Ten minutes later, Xu Huo and the others arrived at a hotel on the other side of the city. Judging from the location of the city's buildings, this hotel was almost out of the city. It was probably because there were usually fewer guests. Some people came over in the middle of the night, and the staff were quite happy.
He enthusiastically led them to the room and gave them late night snacks and breakfast for the next day.
The You sisters paid attention to the announcements from the local government, but after one night, the government did not send out any relevant information about the Cultural Street, and there were no relatively concentrated missing cases or death cases on the Jixin terminal, so they
I think this should be a more targeted copy, and the location is limited to the vicinity of Cultural Street.
Xu Huo was not at ease and asked the painting girl and the others not to go near Cultural Street anymore. Since the transportation was so convenient, it would be fine to go to the next city during the day. He went to visit the writer Jingshi as originally planned.
After two in-depth talks, Jingshi proposed to introduce him to the master watchmaker, not to let him become an apprentice, but to let him watch the master's process of making clocks.
"Things can resonate with each other. Sometimes I call this burst of resonance inspiration." Jingshi said: "Thirty years ago, I was just a small writer who made money by writing some strange stories. It was very accidental.
By chance, I saw an instrument maker polishing props and clocks. At that moment, my brain felt like it was hit by some force, and countless thoughts that were completely different from before burst out. That was also my life.
turning point."
She looked at Xu Huo and said, "I hope you can have such good luck."
Of course Xu Huo would not refuse and solemnly thanked her. When Jingshi learned that he would not be leaving for the next few days, she simply invited him to stay at her home, so that she could take him there at any time once she contacted her grandson's teacher.
Xu Huo admitted that he had several friends staying in the hotel and it was not convenient for him to come and disturb them, so he declined.
Jingshi didn't force it, but said he could come over and chat at any time.
Xu Huo left after lunch. He found a quiet place and started searching for the ranking of tool makers in this area on the Jixin terminal.
However, the search results made him a little disappointed, because according to some organizations, the ranking of watchmakers is not very reliable, and some watchmakers have empty names. On the contrary, the ranking of watchmakers is more authoritative and has received recognition from all parties in society.
Recognition.
The rankings are publicly visible, and many online platforms have dedicated discussion areas. Not surprisingly, Xu Huo saw an account named "Tian Xia No. 1" blasting the rankings on various platforms, and even posted the clocks on the rankings.
The master came out to comment. He not only attacked other people's professional standards, but also used other people's dirty information to talk about, such as one city per home, threatening association members to agree to shameless demands in exchange for orders and rankings, etc.
Anyway, from the perspective of "Number One in the World", almost all the members of the Watch Association who are on the ranking list are not good people. The key is that a lot of his dirty information is well-founded, and it seems that it is really true when someone digs it carefully.
Therefore, although this account says something unpleasant, it still has a lot of fans.
Seeing the pieces of black material and the scolding battle with the Watch Master fans, Xu Huo immediately imagined an old man with sparse white hair, staying up late staring at the terminal and making fun of people.
No need to think about it, this old man must be Mr. Xi. No wonder his shop has become a habit of being blocked. He comes online and offline. Although he doesn't do anything too radical, his bad words are enough to make others come to him when they are unhappy.
’s stubble.
However, the account “Tian Xia No. 1” did not mention its grievances with the Watch and Clock Association.
However, someone revealed his identity and vaguely mentioned an undisclosed lawsuit from more than 20 years ago.
The plaintiff is Mr. Xi. He wants to sue the Watch and Clock Association and the former president of the Watch and Clock Association for stealing his teacher’s achievements. He did not mention what the results were.
Mr. Xi Lao’s teacher is not a famous person. He is not famous in the city where he lives, let alone being on the ranking list. The only shining point is that he taught Mr. Xi Lao, his apprentice. More than 20 years ago, Xi Lao
He is already very famous, ranking high on the watchmaking and toolmaking rankings, and many people from outside the area come to ask him to make props.
"Mr. Xi probably wanted to use his reputation to compete with the Watch and Clock Association to seek justice for his recently deceased teacher. However, the result was not ideal. After losing the lawsuit, Mr. Xi resigned from the Watch and Clock Association in anger.
The Weapon Masters Association has made it clear that he will not make any more props for the government or the association until the day comes."
The fact is that the world can function as usual without anyone. The Watch and Clock Association and the Machine Makers Association even invited him several times at the beginning, but they could only give up when they saw that he was really stubborn. Outsiders could not give him orders through the association and came to him in person.
, he also insisted on not answering, and as time went by, no one came to him anymore.
Many people who didn't know the inside story thought that he had retired because of his old age. In fact, he opened a shop by himself and relied on his previous capital to make a living. After all, he was once a famous tool maker, and he was very important to 001.
He has made contributions to the district and is old, so the government has its own welfare for him.
But like his teacher, he was forgotten.
Not defeated and framed, but forgotten as an insignificant existence.
When the enemy you consider doesn't take you seriously at all, this kind of contempt will make people angry and lose their temper.
Although Mr. Xi had a bad temper when he became famous, he could still maintain basic courtesy, unlike now when he curses the world and the earth on Jixin terminal.
However, it doesn't matter if someone announces his past. At most, he will only get a sigh from outsiders that it has nothing to do with him.
He had just finished reading some of Mr. Xi's life story when a phone call came in that looked like a debt collection. The little old man's face appeared in the projection, urging him impatiently: "Have you decided yet, what props do you want?
I have nothing to do, and I may not have this time in a few days."
"Do you have the materials?" Xu Huo said: "Every customer who entered the store was scolded and left. Do you have the money to buy it?"
The little old man said angrily: "Who are you looking down on? If you take out any of my props, there will be so many people fighting for them, and you still have to worry about not having money to buy materials?"
But he made a patch, "As I said before, you shouldn't be too picky about high-end props."
Xu Huo smiled and said, "I can provide the materials for making props myself. Haven't you participated in the production of super instruments? Is it okay to help me make an A-level prop?"
The little old man thought for a while, "You helped me twice. It's okay to give you an A-grade piece, but I don't use all materials. Don't use those that are not of high quality to make you look embarrassed."
Chapter completed!
